Pros: Power strip with surge protection

Cons: Bought this in August 2015. Recently noticed 2/4 USB ports have already failed after VERY LITTLE use. Tested each port with multiple devices.

Other Thoughts: Wouldn't recommend. Probably won't even bother with warranty replacement.

Pros: It charges my Lenovo T430 laptop and 4 usb devices without issue. I used it in hotel rooms and on a cruise ship with out any problems. I have one by my bed and one in the living room the whole family uses.

Cons: After reading the reviews, I wish the switch on it was a circuit breaker and not just a power switch. I would pay a more if it didnt have a fuse.

Other Thoughts: I would recommend this to anyone charging phones, tablets, laptops and other low power devices. This is only a 34 Watt device. People plugging vacuums and microwaves in to it need to read the description more.

Pros: Portable. Perfect for cruise ships or vacation travel. Won't run a vacuum and hairdryer. Use it for charging phones, cameras, laptops and other light loads only.

Cons: Designed for light loads. This is fine with me, but others want to use it for big loads which will blow the internal fuse. Use it for charging small stuff and you will love it.

Other Thoughts: It would be perfect if it had:
1: Removable cord with standard PC style socket.
2: Resettable circuit breaker.
3: An additional sockets on each side, for charging bricks that interfere with each other on the top.

As a $13.99 Shell Shocker deal it gets 5 eggs. At the $49.99 Retail it would get two.

Pros: With 4 regular AC outlets and 5 USB ports, you can charge a lot of devices at the same time.
Power cord allows the item to be placed on a table to easily access all the outlets and charging ports. This is really helpful when the wall outlet is not in a convenient place.
Little rubber feet prevent it from sliding around when things are plugged in.
On/off switch... little blue light indicates when it is on.
Based on the maximum output per USB port (2x2.4A and 2x1A), and the maximum total output across all USB ports (6.8A), all USB ports can operate at their maximum output simultaneously,

Cons: Regular AC outlets are close together and face inward (ground prong faces toward middle). This prevents multiple blocks from being plugged in.
Other Orico products have auto-sensing USB ports (output up to 2.4A per port, not to exceed specified total output for device). This item has 2 dedicated high-power ports (2.4A) and 2 dedicated low-power ports (1A), so you have to pay attention to which ports you plug devices into. It would be better if this item had auto-sensing USB ports,

Other Thoughts: This item is notably larger than the IPC-2A4U (2 Outlet / 4 USB), which is probably due to the higher output capacity (6.8A for this item, but only 4A for the IPC-2A4U). This is not a problem, but it is a little more bulky when traveling.

I received this item at a discount in exchange for my unbiased review.

Pros: Everything Works as Advertised.

Cons: The Only Problem is that it does not have a Resettable Circuit Breaker.

I Had My Microwave Connected To It, and it Worked OK for Several Weeks.
All of a Sudden, It Gave Out.
Being the DIY'er that I Am, I Removed the 4 Retaining Screws (2 Visible, 2 Under Rubber Pads),
Pried Open the Lid and Examined the Innards. Pretty Good Build Inside.

The Surge Suppression Circuit Board is Covered with Heat Shrink, which I Removed.
It Revealed TWO 1 Shot Type Fuses, Similar to Those Found in other Appliances
(Labeled F1 & F2 on the PC Board).
I Thought for Sure That It was the Problem and Indeed It Was!
F1 was OK, but F2 was Not Conducting.
Rather than ByPass the Blown Fuse,
I Decided to Remove the Surge Board and Solder the Wires Directly to the Taps.

After That, It Work OK along with the Charger Section.

Also, There Is Enough Room Inside the Box, to Drill & Mount a Circuit Breaker,
on the Opposite Side from the On/Off Switch.

You Decide what to Do.

Can't Imagine Why They Would Design a Power Switch that is Not Resettable.

Maybe Next Model?

Pros: Great concept, saves space and wires.

Cons: No holes on back for wall mounting, bulky cord for a travel charger.

Like many other reviews, one of three failed during 5th month of use. No power on outlets or USB ports. Had LED lamp (10 watts) and iron (1100 watts) and it seemed like a breaker tripped. Did not re-set, and the unit seems dead. Load was well under 15 amps.

Could not find the product on the ORICO US web site under support.

Other Thoughts: I wish it had a standard detachable power cord for travel. I typically carry one or two stubby cords for several chargers. (laptop, camera battery, phone chargers, etc.).

For home use, wish it had standard holes for wall mounting.

Pros: Worked well up to the day it crapped out, less than three months in usage.

Cons: I had plugged a vacuum cleaner into one socket of the four. All the remaining 3 sockets were unused. Turned on the vacuum and blew out the "surge protector". It is a brick now. Didn't trip the circuit breaker, just blew out the Super Charger.

Other Thoughts: Beyond return date of 30 days. Don't know if it's worth it for warranty followup.
